Vale Paul Wigney

/in /by

Paul Wigney passed away on Sunday. He was 92. Paul had been in poor health for some time and it had been a while since he was last at the Club.

Paul was a life member of the Club. Paul played Badge continuously for  58 years  – all with Manly. Paul once told me that “I played badge in my first year at the club and also have the distinction of being in the winning team on my first badge and my last”.

Prior to Badge Paul played A grade in the Manly Hardcourt competition for Balgowlah Club for 14 years giving him a total of 72 years continuous competition tennis.

Details of his funeral will be passed on to members when they have been finalised.
